My husband and I just made this recipe tonight for dinner and it came out great!! I will definitely be making this again soon for our families. It has the warm melted goodness that makes for great comfort food, and the crab takes it to the next level. LOVED IT!

I will make this, and if it tastes bland, as some said, I will add whatever I think it needs. But the main reason I am writing this is because I have reviewed five of Bobby Flay's recipes in the last couple of weeks, and although there is a message saying the review will be posted in a few minutes, none of them ever appeared. I just wanted to see if Bobby's review system is the only one that isn't working.

This is an excellent dish that can be prepared ahead of time for large groups. I have made this dish several times, and it is always a hit! I always had my own flair to any recipe. I find that many of the recipes on the food network can be slightly bland. I think that making any dish requires you to put your spin on it, and taylor it to fit your families taste. This dish is simply wonderful. I believe I added light onions and garlic to it.

this is a mild, delicate dish. i added a little lemon zest to the filling.

i served a spinach salad with candied walnuts as a side and poached pears with a frangelica sauce for dessert. it was elegant and blew off everybody's
socks.

quit messing with the recipe and then gripe about how it doesn't work.
Giada knows whereof she speaks. so pay attention.

my guests loved this dish! do not understand the complaints about the lack of flavor. Served it with the baked orzo with fontina cheese, and fresh steamed green bean. My appetizer was Tomato basit tartlets with a the Blueberry-Limoncello cooler. All were Giada's recipes!

I read the reviews beforehand and was soooo hoping I'd be one of the 5 star raters rather than the 2 star raters. I love crabmeat. Saw this recipe in Giada's book & on TV and have been wanting to make this for sometime because it looks fabulous. Finally got around to it and what a MAJOR disappointment. The sauce was bland and you could barely tell there was crab in there. My husband said it wasn't bad and that it tasted like a cheesy pasta dish. I didn't spend all that money on lump crab meat to have it taste like a typical pasta dish! This recipe is going in the trash. I'm not even going to try to doctor it up. You can get the sauce to be more flavorful, but it'll just cover up the taste of the crab that much more.

I prepared according to the recipe with the following exceptions....I added a pinch of lemon zest to the crab mixture and sauce, I added a dollop of mayonaise (it's a Maryland thing and I added a small handful of sliced onions to the butter and softened them before I added the flour and milk. Since I live less than a mile from the Chesapeake Bay, lump crabmeat is plentiful and cheap. Good quality crabmeat is the key! Artificial crab is just that, artificial (yuck. Is ithis the all consuming epicurian delight....no...but if you are a blue crab fan, this is great!

The flavors of the manicotti and crab meat is not complimentary. Made dinner for my boyfriend and he hated it. Won't ever try it again.

I loved making, serving, and eating this!

It is a very rich dish and is not something I would recommend for every night of the week - but I planned well in advance to make this a special entree to serve one evening and it was just fantastic!

I had trouble finding lump crab meat, so I got two very large Alaskan King Crab Legs and used the chunks of leg meat from them - very tasty and well worth the work!

The hardest part is stuffing the pasta without breaking it - but once you get the hang of it, it becomes less frustrating.

I recommend serving it with Giada's Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Bruschetta. I could have eaten the whole tray of it by itself.

I will definitely make this one again - really great!
